Guys. I'm no technical guy, but isn't the issue with all alternative protocols including Nostr, that it is still using the internet framework? And that is still under control to big extent (DNS) of some big central player (US?? ) at the end?

In part, but mostly no.
DNS itself is decentralised in a limited way, the US has a large part of the infrastructure, but not the majority.
However, we generally use hidden services like Tor to run our traffic.
The Internet is not perfect, but it is a network of networks with no central control.
Yes, DNS is far too convenientā¦
Yes, but it's changing too. Nostr devs see DNS as a first thing to remove from the stack. Things like ecash wallets hosted directly on nostr protocol.
From my POV the biggest problem is still IANA. Without public IP you can't relay events. At least now.
